D. “Yousufzai grew up in the Swat area with little access to educational resources. . . .”
Explanation:
This excerpt shows the setting of where Malala's father grew up. <em>Because </em>he grew up with little access to educational resources, this shaped his point of view. Hence we know that D is the answer.
The question isn't asking for Malala's background or relationship with her father (choice C), other people's interactions with their family (choice B), or passive narration about her father's life (choice A).
What it's basically asking is for you to name two places within the book that you believed were the most important to the story and why. For the why it wants you to explain what was so important about these places that they made the character who they are now.
